This module advances the learner’s ability to craft complex procedural animations by combining deformers, MoGraph effectors, cloners, and Xpresso-driven logic. Focusing on dynamic variation, parametric control, and automation, learners refine their ability to build sophisticated looping systems that remain clean, predictable, and fully editable. The module culminates in creating procedural rolling motion using Xpresso for professional-grade looping effects.

Frequently asked questions
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
